Pip Boydell Debut Exhibition @ B&S

Thursday night just gone we were so thrilled to open the debut exhibition of paintings by Pip Boydell at Black & Spiro. It was also a night for our clients and friends to view our 2011 Black & Spiro Christmas windows which we unveiled over a few bottles of champagne.

Pip's paintings were a huge hit with 70% of them now sold. There are 29 pieces in total and I have to say that each and every piece is absolutely divine.

The orchid in the blue and white pot was the first to sell and I think we could have sold it 10 times over. The pink lilies were snapped up very quickly. I think they were my favourite painting of the night.

My other favourite piece, the red geranium, hasn't sold and I am so tempted to whisk it away. I just love it so much!!

The beautiful Agapanthus is also still available. I love it too...

The pretty teacup was also one of the early ones to be snapped up.

Here's a snapshot of one of our front windows. Thanks Pip for painting the beautiful and vibrant fabric back drops for us. Sorry these 2 photos are a bit smudgy!!

Here's our other window...

Our amazing paper/fabric chandelier which our friend, artist Sue-Ching Lascelles collaborated with us on is certainly bringing lots of people into the store. It's so bright and summery and festive. She is so clever.

Oh and here's a shot of our back bedroom. I am so desperately in-love with the 4 cushions on the bed. I really, really want to take them to our cottage at the beach for our bed. So gorgeous!!
